saavan ki is rim-jhim mein — Inder Saraazi

aakhiri umr tak rahegi yaad
raat main saath jis ke bhigaa thaa

aankhein maltaa rotaa chaand
dekho phir se niklaa chaand

baDi mushkil se bahlaayaa thaa khud ko
achaanak yaad teri aa gai phir

ab kisi kaam ke nahin ye rahe
dil vafaa ishq aur tanhaai

raaz-daan hote hain vo ghar aksar
jin gharon mein dhuaan nahin hotaa

abhi to mausam-e-khizaan hai ye
khileinge phuul bhi bahaar ke saath

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

sar se dayaar-e-gham ke sanichar utaar de
mangal hai jis mein jaa ke vo jangal uThaa to laa

rakhtaa hai talkh-kaam gham-e-lazzat-e-jahaan
kyaa kijiye ki lutf nahin kuchh gunaah kaa

ham hain to na rakkheinge itnaa tujhe afsurda
chal naghma-e-'naatiq' sun sahraa-e-junun nai laa
